Asset management attempts to keep the power system in working conditions. It requires much coordination between multiple entities and long term planning often months in advance. In this work we introduce a mid-term asset management…
This paper studies maintenance optimization for a two-component system under mixed observability. Component~$U_1$ is fully monitored, whereas component~$U_2$ is only partially observable due to sensing limitations. The system exhibits…
Integrating diagnosis and repair is particularly crucial when gaining sufficient information to discriminate between several candidate diagnoses requires carrying out some repair actions. A typical case is supply restoration in a faulty…
Predictive maintenance is an effective tool for reducing maintenance costs. Its effectiveness relies heavily on the ability to predict the future state of health of the system, and for this survival models have shown to be very useful. Due…
Industrial robots play an increasingly important role in a growing number of fields. For example, robotics is used to increase productivity while reducing costs in various aspects of manufacturing. Since robots are often set up in…
Most existing research about complex systems maintenance assumes they consist of the same type of components. However, systems can be assembled with heterogeneous components (for example degrading and non-degrading components) that require…
